The idea that there is a commonality among different racial/ethnic groups based on "shared" oppression is specious

Some Japanese Americans participated in blackface minstrel shows during internment and Native American tribes still owned Black slaves on the Trail of Tears twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Contrary to the popular belief of finding solidarity with Black Americans because of oppression, many groups instead reaffirmed the idea that they were superior to Black Americans

Many Native American tribes still discriminate against Black tribal members
The paradigm of group consciousness and solidarity is based on the history and struggles of Black Americans and there is a ton of research showing that other groups classified as "minorities" do not automatically share any commonality with Black Americans

"[White] Cuban migrants received unprecedented support as an immigrant group with one billion dollars funneled into flights, job training, recertification, resettlement, housing, and small business loans"

"Recent studies indicate that over fifty percent of New York’s Black businesses have historically been owned by West Indians even though West Indians constituted less than one third of the city’s Black population"
"Critically, though, unlike in the American South, sharecropping was virtually nonexistent in the West Indies. That is, many of those identifying as farmers were themselves small landowners cultivating their own land self-identified farm owners"
